Kolton Houston and Philip Lutzenkirchen were only friends for a short period time, but that didn't stop the two from forming a tight bond.

Houston, who plays offensive line for Georgia, met Lutzenkirchen the weekend the late Auburn tight end passed away in a severe car accident. The two players had little trouble becoming friends.

"That was the first weekend I'd really met Phil," Houston told 11Alive's Radi Nabulsi. "We'd met a couple times through recruiting, but that was the first weekend I'd really hung out with him."

In the short amount of time the two hung out, Houston gained a lot of respect for Lutzenkirchen. So much that the Bulldogs' lineman got a new tattoo on his arm. The tattoo not only honors Lutzenkirchen, but it also honors former Georgia baseball player Ian Davis, who also lost his life in the crash. Davis was friends with Houston and Lutzenkirchen.

"I've got a new tattoo," Houston said. "It is Phillippians 4:13. I got it for Philip. He wore 43. Ian is outlined. Philip and Ian put together makes Phillippians. Ian had Phillippians 4:13 on his side. Ian's uncle's daily devotional verse was 4:13."

Houston is the second Georgia player to honor Lutzenkirchen in some way. Quarterback Hutson Mason has a pin he wears with the number 43 printed on it, the number Lutzenkirchen wore when he played with Auburn.
